Yesterday, a strong earthquake measuring 6.3 shook northeast Japan and a brief tsunami warning was issued for the region already devastated by the earlier March 11, 2011 event.

Reporting on yesterday's incident, CNN said the Japanese Meteorological Agency had issued a tsunami warning for Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures after the quake off Honshu, Japan's northeastern main island where Tokyo is located.

The Mainichi Daily News reported the warning was in effect for approximately 40 minutes.

After the earlier, March 11 devastation, a Japanese man was able to recover his custom 1950s Harley-Davidson motorcycle, which was washed away with his home in the earthquake and tsunami destroyed town of Onagawa, Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan.
